Emma Thompson believes men have more chance of succeeding in the film industry because women are not allowed to fail.

Thompson believes there is a notable lack of support and exposure for women's voices within the film industry.

"It would be great if the film industry would allow women to fail - that would be great, and to try again. Men can fail time and again, yet they still get work, I just don’t understand it. Women fail once and then it’s, 'oh well you don’t get to do this again'. That would be good."
